Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: verify tt len does not exceed packet len

From: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@...oo.de>

batadv_iv_ogm_process() accesses the packet using the tt_num_changes
attribute regardless of the real packet len (assuming the length check
was done before). Therefore a length check is needed to avoid reading
random memory.
